The U.S. Department Of Justice Filed A Lawsuit Against New Jersey Defense Contractors Over Alleged False Claims--"According to the complaint, Shubhada Industries described itself as a manufacturer to the Defense Logistics Agency and agreed to manufacture two light assemblies, a type of turn signal for munitions vehicles. But instead of manufacturing these assemblies, Shubhada Industries allegedly purchased them from someone else for $1,351.62, charged the military $73,842.00 for the same items—a 5400 percent markup—and pocketed the difference."
If true these guys have demonstrated far worse then some sports figures going down on one knee. Talk about disrespecting the military. Question is since this is a "civil fraud lawsuit"--if proven guilty--will any one go to jail?

More Food For Thought
There are areas in urban decline where Americans want no part of. For many of these immigrants these areas are twice as nice as those they came from. Many driven out by fighting leaving their homes and cities devastated. Some were highly educated. Others owned shops. Many who would appreciate us giving them another chance to start over. No doubt a great number who are more grateful then we who never had to endure such hardship.
I'm not advocating an open border policy. What I am suggesting is we not slam the door shut without giving this due consideration. Somewhere in between NO IMMIGRATION and TOO MUCH IMMIGRATION there is a middle ground. A commonsense policy. Not every rock contains a gem--but if one looks hard enough some can be found. Such as it with these people. Just maybe the next great research scientist or innovator may come from among them.
With good planning and policy it can benefit us all. At the very least it has to be better then continuing to let our cities buildings be abandoned left to rot If these people are willing to paint and fix them up a bit why not?
Speaking Of Left To Rot
Talk about bureaucratic screw ups!
It was also reported hundreds of volunteers are mulling around awaiting orders in an air conditioned rescue center. Somebody needs to get their shit together--fast!
